BACKGROUND The study assessed the impact of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing in the United States by comparing the rates of PSA testing in U.S. counties to the rates of prostate biopsies and newly treated prostate cancer and to deaths from prostate cancer. METHODS We examined the association between the percentage of men aged 66-74 from a nationally representative 5% Medicare sample wh...

benign prostatic hyperplasia (bph) is a common disease in human that gradual overgrowth of the prostate gland leads to impinge on the urethra with impairment in urinary function. numerous plants improve uncontrolled growth of the prostate gland and improve urinary tract symptoms associated with bph. in this study, 25 healthy adult male wistar rats were divided randomly in five groups: g1 (contr...

Background: Due to its biological properties, Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a good target for prostate cancer molecular imaging. The aim of this work was evaluate the role 18F PSMA Tomography–Computed Tomography (PET CT) in diagnosis and staging association with specific serum level. Methods: This prospective cohort performed on 30 individuals pathologically proven patients, seve...

Androgen ablation is palliative and does not cure advanced prostate cancer. The hormone-sensitive cells die and the hormone-resistant cells overgrow, resulting in disease progression. The drug of choice for secondary treatment is estramustine (Estracyt). The success of the therapy is followed by changes of the prostate-specific antigen level and Karnofsky scale. In the present study, the result...

background: prostate cancer (pca) is an important health problem in the aging male population in the world. it is the third most common cancer in the world. despite of its importance, relatively little is known about its etiology. sexually transmitted infections (sti) and urogenital pathogens such as mycoplasma and ureaplasma, have been proposed as a risk factor for prostate cancer development....

INTRODUCTION Transurethral resection of the prostate is the gold standard of surgical treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms associated to benign prostate hyperplasia. The new Green Light Photovaporization has been shown to be an alternative that is as effective for this condition as the transurethral resection of the prostate. OBJECTIVES To compare the efficiency of Green Light Photovapor...

Aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) has been shown to inhibit prostate cancer cell growth in vitro. The purpose of the present study was to determine if AMPA could inhibit growth and metastasis of prostate cancer in vivo. Human prostate cancer PC-3-LacZ-luciferase cells were implanted into the ventral lateral lobes of the prostate in 39 athymic Nu/Nu nude male mice. Seven days later, mice were ra...

Although adenocarcinomas of the prostate are relatively indolent, some patients with advanced adenocarcinomas show recurrence of treatment-induced neuroendocrine prostate cancer, which is highly aggressive and lethal. Detailed biological features of treatment-induced neuroendocrine prostate cancer have not been characterized owing to limited biopsies/resections and the lack of a cellular model....

Introduction: Prostate cancer is the utmost communal type of in adult men. Assessment serum total prostate specific antigen (PSA) broadly cast-off as a screening assistance prompt diagnosis prostate. Irrespective size or patient’s age, 25% cut off value set less free PSA level percentage suggested for cases with values amid 4.1 and 10 ng/ml; This helps detecting cancers 95% prevent 20% unnecess...
